Parliament Hill Farmers’ Market

London is considered the most crowded city in the UK and counts around 8.6 millions inhabitants and you know what? This amazing city still has small secrets corners that makes you feel as if you were in another place, like a small village for example, and this is exactly what you can experience if you go to Parliament Hill Farmers’ Market.

It opened in 2008 and currently is a place where you can find fresh natural produce and support local farmers through your shopping. Despite being small, the market offers a great selection of fruit, vegetables, meat, game, fish, cheeses, bread, cakes, pies, flowers and much more.

Nestled on the edge of Hampstead Heath the place has a very cozy atmosphere and if you have children they will feel at home. There is a playground nearby and at the market entrance there is also an “astro turf” space where children and adults can eat a bit of local food, play and sunbathe in warm days. Equally remarkable are the facilities that are offered for cyclists, such as parking and “crèche” along the fence, near the entrance is available to dog owners.

As I said above the market takes place inside an inviting park with great views of London. The houses in the vicinity area are beautiful and reinforce the impression of being in a hidden gem in London.
